Spot (superdog) goes to Africa! Maybe the Professor was on a scientific excursion? Or maybe he really is that awesome!

The cuteness of confused criticism Grape and negation failure Peanut cannot be described in text. They -ooze- win. If they were slug mucus enthusiasts, I’d be a little alienated, but I’d still love ‘em, as long as they kept it to themselves.

No, I don’t want to know what species produc– Get that away from me! Seriously.

Heeyyyy not ALL fanfics over 3 chapters is this bad. Some of us DO have some actual ability to string thoughts together coherently and produce very decent and readable fanfics. Yes a lot DO fall short right out of the gate but don’t lump us all together with the Plot What Plot writers or those who come up with the WORST pairings ever. ex Snape/Hagrid < wrong on so many levels.

Sorry I mistyped that, What I meant to say was.’Every fanfic that’s under 3 chapter’s’
It’s a shot at all those crazy One-Shot story’s that they don’t even bother continuing or only post an additional chapter only to loose interest.

Come on, it was a joke. I don’t read or write fan fiction. The one time I DID write a fan fiction was back in high school for a composition project, where we took an existing story and changed it so it had a different outcome. Characters were all the same, as was the setting…there were no “fan characters” or anything, it was just a re-write with a different ending.

I did ST:TNG’s “Fistful of Datas,” but I used Minuet in Data’s place. >_>

At Buckilda: You’re right, looks like peanut’s artwork changed with Rick’s own style update.
I’ve been comparing it to Spot (Superdog) comics from before the art style change (just hit the tag under the comic) and it looks like it has the same kinds of changes. Which I find strange in a way that’s hard to describe. By no means bad -in fact keep it- but it raises questions about webcomic cannon.
Here’s what I mean. The art style update in no way should change the characters’ personality right? Right, and it does not. But shouldn’t Peanut’s comic style still be its old, simpler style from before (I would say “blocky”)? It could easily be explained by improved art skill or peanut wanting his own art style update but so far no reason is given. It seems to have happened by magic and Peanut is a different pe(t)rson.

Also the spears and the Saso name arrow are too similar. What do the rest of you think?

Man, Peanut’s style “changed” because it’s rather difficult to draw that crappy on purpose. It’s sort of like being a realist and then suddenly switching to Cubism. In fact, that might have been the point Picasso was making . . .

But don’t expect it to stick. I might actually come up wit ha system for Peanut’s style one of these days.

But yeah, the name arrow is similar to the spears on purpose. Because I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid I drew spears like tag arrows.

Yes, as someone has said in an earlier post, not all finfics are taken right from an established storyline. Some of the fanfics I’ve done have led me to write my own novel. So let’s not be so negative on the writers. Not everyone is out to plagiarize what’s already been done.
